Publisher's Summary

Summer just got hotter...

Wicked in Moonlight by Rhyannon Byrd

When Lainey Maxwell is attacked by werewolves while on vacation, vampire Nick Santos - a hard-edged, mysterious stranger - saves her, and gets bitten in the process. Holed up in a private bunker, Lainey and Nick embrace their most erotic dreams. But the full moon is drawing near - and their time is rapidly running out....

Vampire Island by Lauren Hawkeye

When Isla Miller arrives at a Tahitian resort, she senses that something is off. Everyone is too beautiful, especially Sloane Goldhawk.

As a vampire familiar with the island's darker side, Sloane doesn't think Isla's the type to visit Ile de Nuit, known for its hot nights and hedonists. But Isla seems determined to prove otherwise....

The only thing wrong with these 2 books is that they just weren't long enough but I guess it's the enjoyability that counts!

The first story had vampire Nick getting bitten by a werewolf whilst trying to save a damsel in distress, Lainey, from a pack of werewolves but he kills a few members of the pack so they are forced to lock themselves into his private underground bunker whilst the werewolf pack is outside getting more and more angry.

Nick sets off an SOS to his fellow vamps but whilst they take their time getting there he gets to know Lainey far better, in fact quite intimately. Hot romantic emotional story that has murder, is action packed but there's deadly tension as the full moon is coming and Nick thinks Lainey is going to be his first victim if he changes into a monster werewolf/vampire hybrid.

In the second story we witness Isla being given a free holiday - but she soon finds out that nothing's ever free as it's an island full of hungry vampires and vampire Sloane has to step up and save her from the head honcho who's a sick evil vampire and is desperately in need of Isla's blood so he has his fangs out ready to drain her. A sexy, action packed listen with a few surprises as beauty is saved by the beast.

Worth a credit? What's not to like - there's drama, romance, sex and plenty of paranormal action - so that's a YES.
